I assumed that the Raytown-designed kits all came out in 1977, which (as far as I know) was the first new catalog in many years.

If by "classic" you mean the MRK-I through XII kits (Penetrator to Viking IV) that were all first released in the late 60s, then I think that is too limited. The kits from #1014 through #1029 are as emblematic of FSI as any kits that they ever made, and they include most of the company's best designs. I would say that these epitomize the concept of "classic." What you are talking about are the very early releases, all of which were designed within the first 3 or 4 of the company's 27 years of existence.
